My two runners (pic approx two weeks ago): 1981 yamaha XS850 - its a bit of a custom, the front end is from a 1985 kawasaki ZL900 - and a 2006 suzuki Burgman 650 ( 2006 bought as a leftover in may of 2007, and which I commute on, daily. great crag bike BTW, can fit a full trad pack under the seat.) and my non-runner - shown here circa the dates written on the old photo, currently in pieces in the cellar - a 1977 suzuki GT750B "water buffalo" which I bought new in may of 1978 as a leftover. another pic opf thje water bufflo, from 1992, it's last full season of riding, and 85,000 miles from the previous pic. a bit worse for wear. bikes I owned in the interim, between 1992 and the XS850 (2004) 1981 Suz GS550 - my first four stroke! rebuilt from a dishevelled driveway rat, bare frame up 1985 Honda VF700 interceptor...my daughter haley snapped the pic, circa 1996. burnouts rule and a 1993 Suz VS1400 intruder (pic circa 2002). excellent wheelie machine, surprisingly. I made the exhaust, they're $15 autozone cherry bombs

I wish... I've had a few bikes in the past but not for about four years now... well, ever since I've been in the States. Used to own 1974 DT175 that we restored, a CB250(rs), an XJ650, a GS650, an NTV650 and an XS1100. Lots of shaft drives... heh!

Nice! You've got quite the selection! Everything from cruiser, to sportbike, and even a scooter thrown in there. A GSXR1000 and a R1! Racing?

BITD I used to race liter bikes under WERA for a few years. I don't race competitively anymore though I still log >100 hrs of track time each year. I love riding. Even the scooter, though I'll admit my friends laugh their ass off when I tool around in it.
